“It was a pleasure. I still love to preach. I ain’t tired of preaching. I miss you. I miss you,” Jakes advised the congregation.
“Have you ever gone to a hospital to visit somebody and you thought you was going to encourage them, and they encourage you? That’s what preaching is. Like you think you’re giving out something, you’re getting back more than you gave. I love you,” he stated as his hand appeared to tremble.
He then prayed Psalm 19:14.
“Now Lord let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight oh Lord my strength, and My Redeemer let him go in peace,” Jakes stated.
